Over 4 days Silence from Richard Foord MP on Labour's LGR Stitch Up

4 DAYS!

More than four days have now passed since Labour announced its plan to divide Devon, yet Richard Foord MP has remained silent.

In that time, over 1,400 people have supported our petition opposing a settlement that would place Honiton, Sidmouth, Seaton, Axminster and Cullompton in one vast rural authority stretching across most of the county.

Local residents deserve to know whether their MP supports Labour’s proposal, which separates our communities from Exeter, Exmouth and West Hill while joining us with places as distant as Barnstaple, Bideford and Totnes.

This decision could shape Devon for generations. Silence is not good enough.

Sign and share our petition to demand a fairer settlement for rural Devon: https://www.honitonandsidmouthconservatives.org.uk/campaigns/stop-labou…
